One more time

Typepad has it in for me. Thursday I tried to publish my post only for my computer to tell me it lost the internet connection. Tonight, I can't upload photos. When I try, Typepad just sits there, telling me it's uploading the photo but it doesn't actually do anything. I'm beginning to think I'm not meant to show those three swatches. I'll try one more time later this week and then I'm giving up. (I just tried to start a new paragraph only to find the cursor won't move. I think Typepad is having a seizure. Okay, I guess I'm going to have a run-on paragraph.) This was a pretty good weekend. I had friends over Saturday and my friend Sheri helped me fix the center-back double-decreases on my shawl. I couldn't figure out exactly when/where to start the decrease stitch and as a result, the decreases were kind of all over the place. Sheri helped me fix the wonky stitches and showed me where/when to start the decrease. I'm now whipping along and should be done with the body of the shawl by the end of the week. Then I'll start the top edging. We went to lunch at Pizza Hut and had a great time. Sunday I went with a friend from work to lunch and then to IKEA. My mission was to decide on the storage boxes that will go in the Expedit bookcases I plan on buying next month. I brought home one of these to see how well the woven banana fiber holds up to use. I'm having a hard time committing to one of the boxes because I'm not really wild about any of them. I like the clean look of the woven banana but I'd prefer it be darker. Hmm, I wonder if I can stain them darker? With that final thought, I'm going to end this paragraphless post and head for bed. Hope everyone has a good week.

Do I see a hinge on the basket? And I'm sure you could stain it, it's just plant fiber...you could test the bottom...

Staining is certainly worth a try.
Hopefully Typepad is done hiccuping and will let you post...
